Whitehead
Building makes grand debut:The
Whitehead Biomedical Research Building is Emorys newest and, in
many ways, most remarkable structure. Its 325,000 square feet of office
and laboratory space utilizes the open lab concept, fostering
collaborative efforts between researchers. Whitehead also is environmentally
progressive, with equipment that reuses water and saves electricity. Natural
light shines on 90 percent of Whiteheads office space, cutting the
need for artificial light. A ceremony dedicating the building was held
April 2. Click here or above for the

Emory
alumnus William Cohen, 64C, and his wife, Michele, have established
a scholarship fund to benefit children of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The fund (tentatively
titled the Cohen Sept. 11 Scholarship Fund) will provide students who
lost a parent or guardian in the attacks with a full or partial scholarship
to Emory, based on need. We were very touched by Emorys decision
to help current students [after the attacks], Cohen said. We
decided that we should reach out and make scholarships available to all
the children affected by this tragedy. The scholarship will become
available to eligible students entering the University in 2003 and will
be available only for 25 years, after which point any remaining funds
will be distributed among Emorys general, need-based scholarships.Photo
